That's blatantly untrue.

I've actually met some KKKers. They live practically in my backyard. And they'd stab themselves in the eyes before they'd vote Democrat. The things they said about the Obamas were beyond racist.

lacked the most common kind of photo ID, those issued by the
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Id. The pre-Shelby County
version of SL 2013-381 provided that all government-issued IDs,
even many that had been expired, would satisfy the requirement
as an alternative to DMV-issued photo IDs. J.A. 2114-15. After
Shelby County, with race data in hand, the legislature amended
the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by
African Americans. Id. at *142; J.A. 2291-92. As amended, the
bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians
were more likely to possess.

"In response to claims that intentional racial
discrimination animated its action, the State offered only
meager justifications. Although the new provisions target
African Americans with almost surgical precision, they
constitute inapt remedies for the problems assertedly justifying
them and, in fact, impose cures for problems that did not exist. "

"In this one statute, the North Carolina legislature imposed
a number of voting restrictions. The law required in-person
voters to show certain photo IDs, beginning in 2016, which
African Americans disproportionately lacked, and eliminated or
reduced registration and voting access tools that African
Americans disproportionately used. Id. at *9-10, *37, *123,
*127, *131.

yeah maybe, but Republicans are still a much bigger problem in terms of racism.

Beyond the topic.

How is the Republican party worse than the Democrat party that supports institutionalized racism?

I don't know, but I'll point out that the KKK stems from the mid-19th Century, and at the time the parties were very different. This is why right-wing Republicans today like to brag, deceptively, that they're the party of Lincoln.

Have you seen the things they want to do to Trump?

Happy to debate you in a separate topic regarding voter ID.

The Republican Party has come out vehemently disavowing the KKK and white supremacy.
I wish the Democrat Party would disavow their racists -- Black Panthers, Black Separtists, La Rasa, etc etc

Don't forget Black Lives Matter and Affirmative Action.

Well there's nothing left to debate.

Besides, I seem to recall that you asked me to explain how voter ID laws were racist. And you only pulled the "off topic" card after you realized you were wrong.

Let's how how good you are.

For some this argument/discussion never gets old -- for me it's been done to death...and is irrelevant today.

While it is important to look back, we have to live in this moment.
